Question

mary beth made a scale drawing of a park that has a scale of 1 inch = 4 meters.
label the dimensions of the scale drawing.
36 m
20 m

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length in inches

Given the scale \(1\) inch \( = 4\) meters. For the length of \(36\) meters, we use the formula \(x=\frac{\text{actual length}}{\text{scale factor}}\). So \(x = \frac{36}{4}\)
$$x=\frac{36}{4}=9$$

Step2: Calculate the width in inches

For the width of \(20\) meters, using the same formula \(y=\frac{\text{actual width}}{\text{scale factor}}\). So \(y=\frac{20}{4}\)
$$y = \frac{20}{4}=5$$

Answer:

The length is \(9\) in and the width is \(5\) in.
